What is a Poll Worker?

A Poll Worker is a community-minded person just like you who wishes to be part of the election process. Poll Workers perform a valuable community service by assisting fellow voters at the precinct polling sites on Election Day. Among their duties are ensuring voters are at the correct precinct, issuing ballots, giving voting procedure instructions, verifying voter registration, operating voting equipment, and maintaining orderly flow at the polling site.

Poll Workers are not volunteers. They are paid between $120 and $170 per election depending on the position they fill.
